Kaleisocsope ~ “a continually changing pattern of shapes and colors.”  (Dictionary.com)  

Autumn is upon us in full glory here in Georgia. It is a feast for the senses. The brilliant colors seem to change in shapes and patterns right in front of my eyes. It is like being in the very center of a kaleidoscope. The breezes blow, and the colors begin their playful dance again. Another cold autumn night and the Crepe Myrtles are an even more delicious shade of red. Even the fallen leaves add to the shifting color cast, as they turn over and shine like stained glass in the sun.

It is glorious to behold.

As I have looked over the many blogs of this 365 Project I am amazed at the beauty in the seasons and I am grateful that I have been privileged to capture them and share them here. I am moved when I look back at the snow that created what looked like a glimmering lake on my neighbor’s pasture. I am taken back to that time and I can remember how I felt then as I knelt next to the fence line, the cold burning into my knees and the snow fogging up my lens. It was wonderful. I felt alive and part of what God was doing on the earth and in my heart.  I am coming to the last part of my project and moving into the colder season again. I marvel at the thought. How time has flown!  I am incredibly grateful that I have been able to account for every glorious and precious day here on this blog in some small way.

But I digress. For now I will focus on the gorgeous Autumn we are now having today in Georgia. Today. I have marked it, and I am counting my blessings on this day.
